Bans & Warns

A ban keeps a player off the server, for a set time or for good. A warn is a mark on the player's record that the player is told about. This page shows how staff give and lift both, and what the player reads.

#Ban a player

1. Open the panel with /admin and go to Players.
2. Pick the player from the list.
3. Under Moderation, press Ban.
4. Fill in the two fields and press Ban.

The player is removed from the server at once. The panel says <name> was banned.

The same Ban button is on the ticket page, for the people of a ticket you are handling. See Tickets.

#Ban a player who is offline

1. On Players, switch the list from Online to Offline.
2. Type at least 2 characters of a name, a citizen ID or a license.
3. Pick the player. The profile says: "This player is offline. Ban, warn, notes and lookup still work; live actions need them connected."
4. Press Ban and fill it in as above.

#What the banned player reads

With the default settings a temporary ban looks like this on the join screen:

You are banned from this server.
Reason: <your reason>
Banned until: 2026-10-18 20:15

• A permanent ban has no "Banned until" line.
• The date and time come from the clock of your database.
• Change the first two lines with Config.BanMessage. See Bans.
• The words Banned until: %s are in the locale file. See Localization.

#A ban also blocks the PC

With Config.BanHardware = true (the default) a ban blocks the banned player's PC as well as the account. A new account does not get them back in.

#The Bans page

Open Bans in the menu. It lists every ban, the newest first: active ones, expired ones and revoked ones.

The search box ("Search name, identifier or reason…") also finds a citizen ID.

#Revoke a ban

Press Revoke on an active ban. The panel says "Ban revoked" and the player can join again at once. The ban stays in the list as Revoked, with the name of the staff member who lifted it.

#Warns

A warn does not remove the player. It is saved on their record and the player gets a notice.

1. On Players, pick the player.
2. Under Moderation, press Warn.
3. Write the Reason and press Warn.

You can warn an offline player the same way as you ban one. An offline player gets no notice: the warn is only saved.

#The Warns page

Open Warns in the menu (the page is titled Warnings). Each warn shows its number, the player, Active or Revoked, the reason, Warned by (name and rank) and Given.

Press Revoke to take a warn back. The panel says "Warning revoked". The warn stays in the list as Revoked.

#On the player's profile

A player's profile on the Players page has a History part. It lists that player's bans and warns, the newest first: the reason, who gave it, when, and whether a ban is active, expired or revoked.

Details: Players.
